Coffins are a huge waste of money and space. Cremation's the way to go.

Just throw me in the garbage, man.

Hey, that's taken! Find your own garbage death pit, damn freeloader.

To be fair cremation probably can cost the same or more depending on the additional cost. It's stupid why death cost so much financially. Families already facing the emotional cost of losing their love ones.

It's always been cheaper in my experience.

How many people did you cremate? And at what point does it become cost effective to invest in a small kitchen cremator?

If you are an aspiring serial killer planning on serial killing then I'd say at victim #3 you should really invest in a small kitchen cremator to ignite your serial killing career

At a certain point in life you'll usually have 6 family members who have died, and if you live even longer you'll start having friends die.

That's right, cryo is both cheap, viable, and resource light! Just smack some solar panels on that badboy and you won't even have to think about rising electricity prices.

Fuck, I wish I was cryofrozen right now.

If things don't go well, I'm probably not going to mind

in general, agreed on the point about coffins, and using land just for butial into perpetuity is not a great tradition.

If and where it's just about the use of a box, and/or about the using of land space solely for burial, then one other option they can adress bith of these is 'green conservation butkal'.

The land is used for nature and ecosystem restoration and conservation at the same time, and there is no box/coffin required at all. They can also sometimes be less expensive than conventional burial (with the box and the embalming and so on) or even conventional cremation. Some more about the subject at:
